I mean conversations based around "logical" speculation that usually begins with an article that talks about a lot of pseudoscientific concepts and attempts to display them in an intelligent way..
Quoted from the article:
The stronger that bio-electric-magnetic field is, the more vitality the individual has, the more life force.
I mean, what the hell is this guy on about? Nothing he says makes any sense at all upon closer inspection. Life is sustained through homeostasis, not a fixed amount of energy, as life is constantly 'consuming' it.
Basically, we come into this life with a battery that has a certain amount of juice in it. I call this prenatal chi. If you don't do a thing and you just continue to run with your lights on and the radio blaring, eventually the battery will wear out, depending upon how much demand you put on it. And that's generally seventy to eighty years. So we've got a battery that is meant to last at least that long. However, if you plug the battery in at night and you charge it, there's no end in sight—that's postnatal chi. I have a concept that says: If you go to bed with more energy than you woke up with, then all night long, you've got the battery charger on. And that's the secret to life. It's that simple.
All these bizarre terms seem to be thrown into his point for no apparent reason other than fluff, as he never explains his concept of a 'life force' other than that it is some 'special type of energy' which he also fails to elaborate on. Throwing a bunch of pseudoscientific terms out without explaining them just isn't conductive to a coherent thought/point/whatever
Also,
. . . they're still arguing about what electricity is!
Maybe it's just me, but I am pretty sure most people would agree that electricity is a current of 'extra' electrons moving from negatively charged areas to positively charged areas or something similar, though electricity as a broad term has many definitions.
If you look at the rate of maturation of any animal—in other words, the ratio of the length of time it takes an animal to mature to the length of its life span—for most animals it's ten to twenty times. A horse, for example, will mature in two years and live for twenty-five to thirty years. Same thing with chimpanzees, dogs, cats—with all animals, it's at least ten to twenty times. The only exception to this rule is the human species. Even if you take ten times human maturity, which is a low figure, that gives you 180 years. If it's twenty times, then double that.
This man is talking complete nonsense now. Humans mature so slowly because we are extremely social, born early with under-developed brains with little instinct and have to learn almost everything from scratch. Maturation vs Life span is hardly '20 to 30x' for ANY primate. For example, chimpanzees mature in about 16 years and live to be about 30-40 years old. That's just over 2x and is directly related to high intelligence and underdeveloped brains with less instinct.
I would go on, but I am tired and it's late
